In this campground in the middle of a local state forest, this woman stood. And stood out.
This might be a country version of sophisticated.
While kids ran and swam, and families laid out picnic lunches, and music filled the air, there stood this woman. Taking in all the sights and sounds. And looking pretty sophisticated to me.

Have a great Monday!
Sea and sky both hold their own with regard to boundaries and color.
That boat, however, is just getting started heading out.
Is that liminal? Not a clue. Is Friday liminal? Part weekend/part weekday. If you take Friday off from work, you say you have a long weekend, so Thursday was your Friday.
Enough! Have a great weekend! See you Monday.
Imagine giving directions to these colorful homes in town…”Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.”
Or walking up your front walk singing, “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.”
With colorful homes like these, you didn’t expect an ordinary fence, did you?
There might be no door day today, but, Dan, I have a door for you.
ANODYNE….as in you are getting sleepy, very sleepy
Back in the 1960’s, two doctor shows were on TV: Ben Casey and Dr Kildare.
Kildare, a series based on the popular movies, and starring the strikingly handsome Richard Chamberlain. About the same time another network aired its own medical show, Ben Casey. Here was the “anti-Kildare.” Casey, as portrayed by Vince Edwards was a brilliant surgeon but a bit gruff (with a heart of gold of course).
Every girl was in love with either doctor–never both! You were either Team Ben Casey or Team Dr Kildare. Having one of those doctors treat us would have been wonderful. Or so we said. What did we know–we were kids!
I don’t know about calm or comfort, but this sign did make me smile.
If this were a fantasy, Cinderella and Prince Charming would be leaving the wedding ceremony to step inside this bedecked carriage. This wonderful horse, who was previously a mouse, would whisk them away to a happily ever after.
Wishing you a bibbity-bobbity-boo kind of day.

Did you ever wonder if it’s photographic or photogenic?
“A person with a photographic memory remembers everything including all the details—just as though they’d taken pictures. Photogenic refers to someone who looks great in photographs.”
I don’t know what this phtographer looked like but our downtown Christmas lights are always photogenic.
Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. Get out there and celebrate early–the flowers are ready for their close-up. Happy Monday!
One of these things is not kind:
How that makes us feel:
Have a grrrreat weekend! Be kind. See you Monday.
This ornamental grass is used quite a lot in landscaping down here in sunny Florida. The way it sways in the slightest breeze is truly magnificent. And when the sun backlights it…so lovely.
It is called Pampas Grass. But I bet it looks so majestic that it secretly calls itself Pompous Grass.
Slenderize, schmenderize.
Yes, we should all try to eat a healthy diet, but the word ‘diet’ sticks in my throat, so let’s just say we should eat healthy and keep ‘diet’ and ‘slenderize’ out of it, because if ice cream is involved, get out of my way.
Obviously, this man was forced to eat the ice cream. And that little girl, bless her, is living her finest moment.
Some bright light at the company I worked for decided it would be a good idea for all employees to take the Myers-Briggs test. This would enable supervisors to more clearly identify with their little worker bees.
Well, don’t you know everyone in my department was an introvert. Except the supervisor. We never did identify with her.
Me, I tend to be a mix–an ambivert: An extroverted introvert (also called an ambivert) is someone who displays traits of both extroversion and introversion personality types. Such a person can feel comfortable in large groups, but they will also require some alone time in order to reenergize themselves.
I like the feeling of getting lost in a large crowd. But I am very uncomfortable in small, intimate settings. I need to decompress after both situations.
Anyhow–my photo for today…either the subject was an extrovert or this was painted in a dark room in the back of the house with all the window shades pulled. What do you think?
One of my favorite sayings: “Introverts unite! Separately in your own home.”
